Latitude 7202 FOG PXE menu freezes

[dwcoleman]

So I created a new permanent VM for my Ubuntu installation. I then added a second volume and moved /images successfully, mounted it, and it works fine for ipxe clients.

I can no longer USB image the 7202 tablets though using Fog 1.4.2 on the new server. To prove this out I fired up my local VM and updated grub.cfg and I’m pulling an image using Fog 1.4.1.

Error is below. I’m pretty much a newbie to Fog, do I need to update my Fos USB image

Thanks, Darren

@dwcoleman Re-creating the USB FOS image is a good idea. Could be that the addition of ZSTD compression is causing an issue here?

Just recreated the image using @george1421 's excellent instructions, same error persists.

@dwcoleman Do you have enough free disk space on your new server (/images partition)? Please post the output of df -h and ls -al /images on your FOG server here in the forum.

On the other hand… why would it fail that early (calculating bitmap…) if disk space is an issue? Exit code 141 I read means broken pipe. Why would partclone fail to read /dev/sda1 and not be able to deliver data trough the pipe? (just thinking out loud here)

Afaik 141 is a pipe issue. Meaning that while partclone is still piping data, the compression manager has already exited (assuming). As to what caused it, I have no idea.

FWIW: The disk space issue is a bit misleading, we discovered it basically means that partclone failed for some reason and there is no way to trap the error programmatically.

See below. /dev/sdb1 was my second 700GB volume that I added to the system. I thought it was the problem at first but verified it wasn’t.

I might downgrade to 1.4.1 again at this point since I"m running out of ideas.

@dwcoleman What imagemanager do you use for this image? (on the image definition page)

[dwcoleman]

Partclone Gzip

I have two other images captured via PXE using Partclone Gzip that worked.

@dwcoleman Do you still see this issue? Have you tried on different devices? Always the same problem?
